Following the success of the MARSIEN series, currently being delivered to owners in more than 16 countries around the globe, Marc Philipp Gemballa GmbH (not associated in any form with Gemballa GmbH) proudly announces the MARSIEN GT, the next chapter in the MARSIEN story and second vehicle to join the company’s growing portfolio of bespoke collector automobiles.

While the MARSIEN, introduced at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2021, created its own category of all terrain capable production sportscars, the MARSIEN GT has been developed as the road focused evolution of the MARSIEN program following the entrepreneur’s vision of creating modern yet timeless holistic masterpieces produced in limited series production.

The MARSIEN GT is limited to just 30 bespoke commissioned examples, raising total production of the MARSIEN program to only 70 vehicles worldwide in honor of the 70th anniversary of the entrepreneur’s father and automotive visionary Uwe Gemballa.

to grand touring

MARSIEN GT: The next chapter in the MARSIEN story

The MARSIEN GT translates the same iconic design language into its most road-focused evolution yet

While the MARSIEN was inspired by the legendary Paris–Dakar rally era, creating a hybrid between a modern-day supercar combined with off-road capabilities delivering the ultimate driving experience for both on and off road, the MARSIEN GT translates the same iconic design language into its most road-focused evolution yet.

Developed on the fully homologated MARSIEN platform, the MARSIEN GT transforms its distinctive character into a pure grand touring concept, designed for enhanced road performance, dynamic precision driving and everyday usability.

Where the MARSIEN was created to transcend the boundaries between on road and off road, the MARSIEN GT focuses its capabilities on the road ahead – marking the next evolution of the MARSIEN story.

Craftsmanship behind

the MARSIEN platform

MARSIEN GT: The next chapter in the MARSIEN story

Approximately 1,500 newly engineered and manufactured components

Each MARSIEN GT begins with the Porsche 992 Turbo S platform before undergoing a comprehensive transformation involving approximately 1,500 newly engineered and manufactured components.

From the carbon fiber exterior, bespoke double wishbone suspension, titanium exhaust system, door handles along with own taillights, wiring loom, and aerodynamic architecture to chassis systems, interior craftsmanship and numerous technical assemblies, the vehicle is fundamentally reimagined which took several thousands of hours of engineering and design to create an entirely new collector automobile.

Aesthetics and Design

MARSIEN GT: The next chapter in the MARSIEN story

An ultra-modern yet timeless looking design featured by cutting-edge technology

The MARSIEN GT features a completely new developed full carbon fiber exterior consisting of more than 100 individual carbon fiber components including air channels, wing mirrors, wheel arch liners and a rear panel that reaches all the way from the A-pillar to the rear wing.

Every exterior panel has been reworked for the MARSIEN GT and exclusively designed for lightweight, cooling and enhanced aerodynamic performance by introducing new features such as active front fender louvres, an active rear wing, roof scoop, ram air intakes, side skirt intakes and a full carbon fiber underbody resulting in a total weight reduction of 75 kilograms compared to the standard Porsche 992 Turbo S base vehicle. To further enhance aerodynamic performance and weight distribution, the MARSIEN GT also features a central fuel intake system. Each panel is manufactured by leading German carbon fiber specialists who also supply leading OEMs, sportscar manufacturers and several Formula One teams.

Designer and Porsche aficionado Alan Derosier, responsible for the ultra-modern yet timeless looking design of the MARSIEN, was also commissioned to lead the design concept for the MARSIEN GT.

A one-off four-layer champagne gold metallic – tribute to a legend

In celebration of the 70th anniversary of Uwe Gemballa, a special one-off four-layer champagne gold metallic exterior color has been specifically created for the launch of the MARSIEN GT, named Anniversary Liquid Champagne Gold.

It incorporates pearlescent metallic flakes, subtly echoing the original pearl white launch color of the MARSIEN, and is applied by a state-of-the-art and certified paint studio that is capable of fulfilling the most daring customer color requests.

The MARSIEN GT’s interior echoes the elegance of the exterior

The interior of the MARSIEN GT echoes the elegance of the exterior and features several specifically designed elements. The center console has been lifted and equipped with an aluminum gear stick inspired by the legendary CGT, allowing for a sportier, more analog driving experience. It can be optionally fitted with a gear knob in exposed carbon or mahogany instead of leather or Alcantara. The interior is an example of the fine balance between form and function, with tasteful hand stitching of the logo and paddles for manual gear switching. Similar stitching can be found on the floor mats, headrest, and armrest.

Two iconic families teaming up

Engine Powered by RUF

A truly bespoke vehicle requires a unique powertrain of the highest  quality

A truly bespoke vehicle requires a unique powertrain of the highest quality. Consequently, Marc Philipp Gemballa is continuing his partnership with legendary Porsche engine specialist RUF Automobile for the engine development of the MARSIEN GT. Founded in 1939, RUF Automobile is known for its Porsche engine expertise, having already worked with Marc’s father Uwe Gemballa to produce powertrains for various vehicles in the 1980s.

The engine upgrade powered by RUF enables the six-cylinder boxer engine to deliver over 830 horsepower and 930 Newton meters of torque with enhanced VTG turbo chargers, a revised ECU mapping and transmission setting.

For clients that are looking for even more power, there will be a second-stage engine upgrade producing more than 900 horsepower that is currently in development.

Cutting edge suspension technology

MARSIEN GT: The next chapter in the MARSIEN story

The MARSIEN GT features an entirely new developed road focused double wishbone suspension system

While the MARSIEN was engineered for all-terrain capability, the MARSIEN GT’s suspension has been developed to deliver a more focused and dynamic on road driving experience. In continued technical partnership with suspension specialist KW Automotive, an entirely new double-wishbone suspension setup was developed specifically for the MARSIEN GT, paired with a bespoke road focused damper system based on KW’s latest DDC V5 technology.

The electronically controlled dampers continuously adjust their compression and rebound forces in real time. Two electromagnetic proportional valves within each damper regulate both forces independently, allowing the system to respond within just 20 milliseconds to changing road conditions and driving situations. This provides the precise control and immediate response required, while retaining the ride comfort expected of a GT.

For greater everyday usability, the system also incorporates a front-axle nose lift that raises the front of the vehicle by 60 mm – or approximately 2.36 inches – to clear driveways, ramps and speed bumps. In its standard configuration, the MARSIEN GT maintains its road-focused ride height of 100 mm – or approximately 3.94 inches.

Furthermore, the driver can choose between several driving modes via the drive mode selector on the steering wheel, which automatically adjusts damper, transmission setting, and engine mapping, accordingly for the selected drive mode.
